abstract="Engaging directly with stakeholders in the emergency preparedness and response volunteer workforce is the best way to ensure that informational resources reflect their needs and preferences.<sup>1-3</sup> Freeman et al. present a framework for stakeholder engagement that favors a collaborative approach.<sup>1</sup> In this framework, the activities (i.e., examining stakeholder relations, communicating with stakeholders, and learning with stakeholders) result in integrative stakeholder engagement.<sup>1</sup> Furthermore, stakeholder engagement is expected to promote innovation and sustainability, and it is conceptualized to be especially successful if those with the least power in a system are able to participate.<sup>1</sup> In the field of disaster planning, stakeholder engagement has been used to validate themes and identify knowledge gaps<sup>2</sup> and has been shown to promote resilience.<sup>3</sup> Here, we use the Freeman framework to describe the collaborative process of obtaining stakeholder input and the resultant value of this input for the Emergency Law Inventory (ELI).
